Here's to the Fathers!!

A strong Father is like a mighty Oak that shelters the birds in thier nesting, yet holds the very foundations of the soil in place...

Here's to my own Father, a man of integrity and grace. He's the man I'd go to for advice AND a hug in an instant...and always will! He's just as wonderful with Grace as he was with my brother and I! She just adores him, and so do I!





Here's to Carl, the Father of our child! He is the rock upon which I build my life. He has the lovely gift of turning a sad day into fun and an angry moment into laughter. He makes our child proud daily and I am proud to have her following in his (rather large) footsteps! I love you, Honey.






Here's to some other wonderful fathers I know!
My brother has always been synonomous with the word "fun" to Grace, and now he has two of his own! I know they feel the same way!


Our brother-in -law is the strong silent type, but he's an amazing Dad. He is extremely tender with our niece...


And who could forget Grace's Midwestern Grandpa...He's a big burly bear with a heart of gold. She just adores him, and so do we!

Very beautiful!

I just adore your dad. I love all the photos, but especially the one of your dad dancing with Grace, and the one of Grace and Dad examining something. Happy Father's day to all.
